So much so that I googled the competition, and found out their email address. Once that was done I sent them an email giving the girl high praise. I received a reply typical in Kiwi nature. If I posted them a self addressed envelope, they would send me,free of charge, a compilation cd of all entrants including Jessicah's song. This was mid November 2008, and the cd was being finalised in February '09.
I had returned home two weeks when lo and behold my cd arrived, I had completely forgotten about it and was impressed beyond belief. I believe that for the price of a few stamps it was the best double cd I ever got!
I just thought it was something, that in my experience in NZ typifies the type of people that are there and just how friendly they are in pretty much every way.
